Blurbs from the Burbs by Chicago Northwest Realtor, Judy Greenberg

Is your Vernon Hills Realtor internet savvy? 

There are many Vernon Hills Realtor,  How do you choose the Vernon Hills Realtor for you?  Before making your ultimate decision about the Vernon Hills Realtor you would like to engage  to list your home, be certain that he or she is internet saavy...

Vernon Hills Realtors know that 93% of buyers are shopping on the internet, but ony few of us Vernon Hills  have  really embraced the technology.  In order to effectively market your Vernon Hills home for sale, your Vernon Hills Realtor needs to understand how home buyers shop today, and use technology to help sell your home. 

Most people Google all day long.  I google restaurants, directions, etc.   lets say I google almost everything.  Potential buyers also google when they are looking for a home.  I always ask myself what is someone going to google to find your home for sale.  Because of the time I spend with my blogs and my websites,  a lot of searches that a potential buyer would google, would lead them to my websites. 

Here is an example how I am marketing my new listing in Vernon Hills.  It is a ranch home located in the Centennial Crossing Subdivision. 

If a potential buyer googles " Vernon Hills ranch homes... in the screen shot below, you'll see that my web site, vernonhills-homes-for-sale, comes up second and third.  ! This is how home buyers are shopping on the internet and not many  Vernon Hills  Realtors have these skills to help  market their client's homes.   

 

Also you can Google "Vernon Hills realtor in Centennial Crossing Subdivision" and you'll see that my Vernon Hill websites and blogs are all the entries on the first page of google. 

Not all Vernon Hills Realtors utilize the internet to its full potential. When interviewing Vernon Hills Realtors, ask how they plan to market your property online and do call me if you would like to interview me! 847-602-5435

Chicago Northwest Suburban Realtor, Judy Greenberg  Shares her Secrets of a Client-Focused Website with Chicago Agent Magazine

Creating a great website that focuses on clients takes not only time and effort, but also an understanding of one's target audience and their needs.  I have been passionate about using the Internet as a tool to help my clients for over 10 years now. 

Recently, Chicago Agent magazine presented me with an opportunity to share that passion with  other realtors.

Here are a few of the key excepts from the  article Secrets of Online Success.

• Research, Research, Research

" 'Research is important in creating a successful website', says Judy Greenberg, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Buffalo Grove. 'I would suggest that a real estate agent first ‘Google' a city and see which sites come up and which ones are given the highest ranking.' she says.

Research is key when creating a client-centered website.  I spend hours each day online analyzing my websites and the frequency of certain key words to understand what my clients are searching for when beginning the process of purchasing a new home.  I strive to understand which information is the most requested and helpful and then provide it in a format that is quick and easy to use.  Schools, from preschool to highschool are stressed in my blog, www.judygreenberg.com as well as in my websdites www.vernonhills-homes-for-sale.com, and www.buffalogrovehomes.com and www.buffalogroveareahomes.com since I have found that schools are the most important factor when choosing a city for families relocating with school aged children. 

 

• Be the Expert

"Greenberg determines what information to include in her blogs by staying up to date on current events in the community and understanding the topics that interest people in real estate today, she says. It is also helpful that she lives in the area in which she works and can blog about the aspects of the community she finds most special."

I'm so lucky that I live and work in a community that I love.  I try and make sure that all of my blog posts are interesting, relevant and tell the true story of the communities, whether it by Lincolnshire, Vernon Hills, Long Grove or Buffalo Grove.   That way, clients can get a feel for the area whether they are in Los Angeles, CA or London, England.    For example, a reader who desires to learn about the Village of Long Grove will get a flavor of the community as well as a slide show when they google Long Grove Real Estate

 

• Optimize Search Functionality

"One of the most helpful website features for consumers is a search function that allows them to search for homes in multiple ways, including by address, subdivision, neighborhood, map or schools. 'The search button is the most important button,' says Greenberg. Most Realtors use a basic home-finder search, but consumers simply will move on to the next site if they don't get enough information."

I make certain that the "Search Box" on each of my websites is easy-to-find and easy-to-use. My website designer, Jeff Stone at www.nextlevelsolutionsforrealestate.com was instrumental in helping me optimizing the location of this box.    Not everybody has the same criteria when looking for a house so I want to make sure I include as many options as possible to help a client get "the perfect fit" when they are done with their search.

Almost everyone will begin their next home search on the Internet and I want to make sure that when a client gets to my website, they feel as if they have access to all the information needed to begin that search.   The Internet is a valuable tool to lead a client to the right real estate agent for their needs and I am available 24/7 to set up a meeting, a school tour or just to ask a question.  And when all is said and done, it's the personal touches that I apply to my websites and to my client relationships that makes each home search a success.
